Well, the Japanese culture, especially the old one is interesting to many. The very fact that the Samurai and the likes could make the decision to do Seppuku, shows a lot of strong emotion, and courage given the reason why they did it etc. Most in this modern age would just laugh and call it stupid which I may understand fully well based on current culture. But looking back at the past and imagining cultural behavior to me is not in the category of sick in the slightest.
